MISS NARCISSA BACHMAN

Sister of Col. A. O. Bachman and Former Resident of This City, Died in Indianapolis.

Miss Narcissa Bachman passed away last night at her residence in Indianapolis. She would have been ninety-four years old next October.

Miss Bachman was the last surviving child of Alois Bachman and his wife, Emily Thiebaud Bachman, both pioneers of southern Indiana. The Thiebaud family settled on a farm near Vevay in 1817, while Alois Bachman came to Madison in 1818. Miss Bachman resided in Madison until her removal to Indianapolis.

From her youth she was a member of the Second Presbyterian Church of this city, transferring her membership to the Second Presbyterian Church of Indianapolis.

Blest with unusual health until recently, Miss Bachman was tenderly cared for during her illness by her devoted nieces, Miss Helen and Mame McKinney. She is survived by her brother-in-law, Mr. John B. Ross, of this city, and nieces and nephews.

The remains will be brought to Madison Thursday at noon. The funeral will be from the train and the interment will be in Springdale cemetery.
